- The bar at the Zetter Townhouse is fabulous - old world ambiance and so cosy especially sitting by the fire! The cocktails and afternoon tea are great! - The room is small but very clean, individually decorated and the bed is comfortable.

The service was delightful but best of all was the cocktail bar where you could go before and after going out.

An inside look at The Zetter Townhouse Clerkenwell

The Zetter Townhouse Clerkenwell is a 13-bedroom Georgian townhouse with an award-winning cocktail lounge located just on the historic St John's Square. This eclectic property feels more like the private residence of an eccentric (and fabulous!) Great Aunt than a hotel - we like to call her Aunt Wilhelmina! Each of our rooms is completely unique, featuring different, bold shades of heritage colours and vivacious antique pieces. Every corner of the property is crammed full of collectibles, taxidermy and ‘Victoriana’ from Aunt Wilhelmina’s world travels, and as soon as guests enter the light blue front door they feel as if they've stumbled upon something secret and special. The cocktail lounge is a destination in itself. A collaboration between The Zetter Group and Tony Conigliaro (Drinks Factory and 69 Colebrooke Row), each recipe features bespoke ingredients developed and made by the bar team in the lab. Stuffed full of oddities and curios, with an open fire crackling in the grate, the relaxed, sitting room is equally suited to a lazy afternoon indulging on Afternoon Tea as it is a night of uproarious revelry.

Single glazing on the windows meant it was quite noisy. Even though it’s set back from the main road the rubbish men were outside at 11.30 at night and back again at 5.30 in the morning. Such a pity because if it had been quieter we’d definitely have returned.
Amazing decor. Loved all the artwork and novelties. The cocktail lounge was great and the staff were fantastic.

For offering not much extra, any special services or so on, than just the style, it is a bit pricey.
If you like its style, it is the perfect choice in the middle of buzzing new biz circuits.

The hotel seemed a bit dark, and the promised WiFi kept breaking down. It was much more expensive than other places that we stayed in the past.
The bed was comfortable, and the room was available at very short notice.
